Glenn Astarita atAll About Jazz gaveMoonBabies a positive review, recommending it highly while praising the band's cohesiveness and each musician's technical craft.[3] François Couture atAllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, remarking that "The music occasionally falls into the culprit of 'complex for complexity's sake'", but also saying it was "more varied and overall accomplished" than Planet X's 2000 debut albumUniverse. GuitaristTony MacAlpine, in particular, was described as "a magician, often stealing the show with his inspired solos and soaring lead lines—recallingAllan Holdsworth in his prime."[4]
